Obesity and Hopelessness : A teen's story of processed food addiction and now how Mom and Daughter are helping people change their lives .

Today, I sat down with Helene Leeds and Penelope Popken, mom and daughter who both struggled with their health and weight. In this conversation and interview with mother and daughter we discuss what lead to Penelope's struggle with weight, as she was 15 and 350 pounds and how she tried every diet, and how the quick fixes didn't help. We speak about weight loss drugs like Ozempic and how losing weight does not have to be with drugs. In the interview with Helene, we take a deep dive into her past with food and how she grew up in a home with dysfunctional eaters. Both learned that food addition is real and it was the patterns that contributed to their unhealthy lifestyle. Since Helene and Penelope have had to overcome their individual struggles with unhealthy eating and obesity, they have started the Step it Up program to help other women in their position. After failed attempts at diets, injections and pills they are on a mission to help everyone learn how to nourish their bodies more deeply to live their best life!

Conversation with Dr. Larry Wilson, what's happening to your hormones in Perimenpause , and how HRT helps with Symptoms

On today's episode, I take a deep dive with Dr. Larry Wilson, OBGYN for 25 years delivering babies and now has a practice that helps women and men feel their best with Bioidentical Hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Larry Wilson and his wife, Dr, Susan Wilson have a practice called the Charleston Healthspan and help many people start to feel human again with HRT. We talk about 1. HRT and how when we lose estrogen it effects our brain and heart health. How low estrogen causes anxiety and depression. 2. Debunking the myth that HRT can cause cancer. 3. The difference between Bioidentical hormones and synthetic . 4. Lifestyle choices and how they play a role into your health and how you can support your hormones 5. How in medical school that do not get the proper education on HRT or how to help holistically to balance out the hormones. While we know that as we age our hormones decline especially once we hit menopause, but we do not have to feel that way and hormones are actually helping people feel normal again. For all the women out there, we hit perimenopause in our early 30's and from there our hormones slowly decline. If you are struggling this episode is for you.
